The band is getting back together and the fun chemistry will pick up right where it left off.

Returning from maternity leave, Elle Duncan will reunite with Matt Barrie as the two-anchor SportsCenter:AM on Saturday at 7 a.m. ET on ESPN. The two also will work together on Sunday morning and will be regulars on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings going forward.

Duncan and her husband Omar Abdul Ali welcomed their first child, Eva, on July 26. Prior to her leave, Duncan and Barrie had been regular anchors of the weekend editions of SportsCenter:AM and as the video shows, they are two peas in a pod.

Duncan especially looks forward to Saturday morning college preview editions as she recently tweeted:

Duncan also will be returning to the rotation of SportsCenter on Snapchat hosts, first appearing Sept. 20.

Andy Hall and David Scott produced the video.
